Options for Post-Secondary Ed.
Many students are unaware of the numerous higher education options available to them. If more students understood their options, maybe more would enroll...
Today, students have many options for furthering their education beyond high school. But I still find that most students are heavily focused on traditional university enrollment, or if the student isn't interested in this, then nothing. It takes a lot of conversation to help students understand that there really are other options.
Post-secondary education options include on-the-job training programs, vocational/technical or career schools, two-year colleges, four-year colleges, specialty institutions (health-related, religious training, etc.) and even homegrown workforce development training (such as a nurse training program within a hospital). What's important is that the student consider his/her interests, look at the options, and weigh his/her decision carefully. Four-year (and higher) degrees aren't the answer for everyone.
